Résumé:
The last decade was largely defined by consumption and greed. An untold story, however, is the rise in benevolent giving seen in institutional, public and private sectors. Such characteristics as altruism and duty are now as influential as self-interest. The geography of aid has also broadened; networks of NGOs now supplement philanthropy and the global operations of(...)

Résumé:
The last decade was largely defined by consumption and greed. An untold story, however, is the rise in benevolent giving seen in institutional, public and private sectors. Such characteristics as altruism and duty are now as influential as self-interest. The geography of aid has also broadened; networks of NGOs now supplement philanthropy and the global operations of official channels. It has become a crucial counterpart of authorized programs; agencies that provide vital services rely on contributions to augment official doctrines. Yet, the current recession threatens to limit support, diminishing aid at this critical moment when distress is increasing. A new culture of giving that includes volunteering and action, coupled with accumulated expertise may enable imminent needs to be met. The Gift Economy presents aid's history as an index of past and current relationships, indicating how its future promises a significant global role.

Résumé:
The essays are based on papers given at a symposium in Copenhagen in June 2008 and refer to the following considerations: When spectators confront and designers invent works of art and architecture, vital questions regarding their appearance arise. These are not simply questions about what appears, also what does not, i.e. what withdraws when works are experienced and(...)

Résumé:
The essays are based on papers given at a symposium in Copenhagen in June 2008 and refer to the following considerations: When spectators confront and designers invent works of art and architecture, vital questions regarding their appearance arise. These are not simply questions about what appears, also what does not, i.e. what withdraws when works are experienced and created. How do we cope with this withdrawal, with latencies that escape concretization? What are the productive paradoxes associated hereto and how do they influence the processes of making? Based on multiple discourses on these subjects, contemporary positions in art, architecture and philosophy draw up new challenges, especially with regard to the creative practices. Within and between these positions emerge potentials for modes of thinking and doing with a new sensitivity. With contributions by Michael Asgaard Andersen and Henrik Oxvig, Renaud Barbaras, Andrew Benjamin, Olafur Eliasson, Sanford Kwinter, David Leatherbarrow, Martin Seel, David Summers, and Sven-Olov Wallenstein.

Résumé:
On the premise that words have the power to make worlds, each essay in this book follows a word as it travels around the globe and across time. Scholars from five disciplines address thirteen societies to highlight the social and political life of words in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. The approach is consciously experimental, in that rigorously tracking a specific word in specific settings frequently leads in unexpected directions and alters conventional depictions of global modernity. Such words as security in Brazil, responsibility in Japan, community in Thailand, and hijb in France changed the societies in which they moved even as they were changed by them. Some words threatened to launch wars, as injury did in imperial Britain's relations with China in the nineteenth century. Others, such as secularism, worked in silence to agitate for political change in twentieth-century Morocco. Words imposed or imported from outside could be transformed by those who wielded them to oppose the very powers that introduced them, as happened in Turkey, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Taken together, this selection of fourteen words reveals commonality as well as distinctiveness in modern societies, making the world look different from the interdisciplinary and transnational perspective of "words in motion."

L'énigme de l'architecture n'est sans doute pas séparable de la question que l'humanité se pose à elle-même, au moment où l'ensemble des significations dont elle a fait usage pour assigner un horizon semble épuisé. Comme l'homme lui-même, avec qui elle partage cette condition, l'architecture ne se laisse pas facilement fixer en une formule ou une figure universellement partagée. Quel est donc le lieu de l'architecte ? De quoi l'architecture est-elle en charge ? Il s'agit de relancer les dés et de saisir la chance de l'indéfinition.

Résumé:
This work presents a compilation of materials with which seventeen artists reflect on the gap between architecture as idea, architecture on paper, and its actual use - in other words, the 'afterwards' of construction. The project distinguishes four possible typologies of the afterwards: back, interior, around and demolition. These typologies of the afterwards would in this way come to compose a kind of heterotopia of architecture. It is illustrated with works by Vangelis Vlahos,Terence Gower, Pia Ronicke, Xavier Arenos, Gregor Graf, Mounir Fatmi, Xavier Monteys, Heidrun Holzfeind, Tim Etchells, Laurent Malone/ Dennis Adams, Didier Bay, Jordi Colomer, Alexander Apostol, Chris Mottalini, Lara Almarcegui, Jan Tichy and Clay Ketter.
